That did not work. Look at the partitions in yast partitioner, it shows /dev/sdd a the disk drive, and /dev/sdd1 as a fat partition. executing ms-sys -s /dev/sdd ; sync, I get Public domain syslinux master boot record successfully written to /dev/sdd Executing syslinux /dev/sdd ; sync, I get syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem Executing syslinux /dev/sdd ; sync, I get a successful install. Tried deleting the sdd1 partition, no luck. Tried copying the files to sdd, that went ok, but they ended up in sdd1.
Does not make sense to me. I would like to have the whole 256 meg as dos drive, but the .bin and .exe flash burning files do not even show up when booted to dos.
